What were Julia Margaret Cameron's photographs particularly noted for?

  • B&W landscapes

  • Still lifes

  • Sporting events

  • Soft-focus close-ups

Answer

Julia Margaret Cameron's photographs were particularly noted for soft-focus close-ups, which were in sharp contrast to the crisp, clear photographs that were popular at the time. She used a large-format camera and a long exposure time, which allowed her to capture the details of her subjects' faces and expressions. She also used a soft-focus lens, which blurred the background and created a more intimate and personal feel to her photographs.
